2003 WDW Mousefest & DIS Meets information including links to sign up threads.

[CarolA]

Ray I just busted out laughing when I saw your first post on this thread. You are quite the organizer.

I do believe you when you say you are shy about hosting. I was terrified to host the Krispy Kreme meet last year.

I went to one RAPD meet in December a few years ago. My problem posting there is that it is not moderated and I got some HORRIBLE emails as a result so now I just occassionally lurk.

Are they having the scavenger hunt this year? That might be fun.

Hello, Mackey Mouse. Thank you, and I hope that you and your "DTWHBNITPRS" (Dear Tiara Wearing Husband But Not In The Public Restroom Stall) can come, too. I'll try to list some things as time goes by. I'll definitely list the new 2003 times, dates as they come out to help everyone with planning. And Kimonos Karaoke would be fun.

Hello, Crissup. That would be great to see you again. But for the life of me I can't remember what you blook like. I'm terrible with names and faces, but I do remember your name. And I completely agree with you about signing up for meets. I hope to list a bunch of meets as other DISers become more interested and post their own thread with a DIS meet interest. There are some DIS meets that require advance payment like te Epcot Candlelight Processional package. But MVMCP you can get your own tickets anytime andmaybe just
meet if the time and place is right. And sometimes priority seatings for groups can be a problem if they fill up. But there are so many things that we can do without signing up, like riding different rides like ToT, RnRC, Splash mountain, IASW, etc., or watching parades, shows, fireworks,etc.

Hello, one_cat. You'll have a great time.

Hello, Carol. The only reason I got up on stage at HDDMR was that I was among friends. I would never do that by myself. I did make a very ugly angel, didn't I?

Ray

Hey thanks Ray... I saw those pics and I think you were a precious angel....I need to make reservations but have to get through the major move we are doing........Moving out of the family home to Cape Cod and taking an apartment in Boston.. but once that is over, I say I am in for the planning.. Tommy too minus his tiara.....teehee

 

[helenabear]

Ray, you made for a wonderful angel!!! So fitting for you anyway As I said on another thread of yours, I have every intention of being down there at that time. I am already booked at the Swan (found a great rate) and I'd be interested in a meet or two with you all or with the RAPD. I must say, I got "scared away" there so I haven't been there in a long time, but I am always looking to meet with people and have fun

Gee - I'm only a MONTH late to notice that MVMCP dates are already out! Any tentative group plans to attend the party, Ray?

 

[Carl]

Thanks for posting this information. I don't visit the other boards often. I was hoping to meet some DISers this December, but (as you know if you read my post after my May visit) I would NEVER plan another DIS meet on my own.

 

[CarolA]

Bump back to page one. Since I know so many people will be there in December (NOT that I have booked my trip yet LOL!)

 

[DebWills]

Hello everyone!

How delightful to see that you already have a thread on MouseFest 2003 events. Even more wonderful is that the DIS community plans to participate!

Today I have posted information about the event on a few boards here at DIS (thank you Pete) and look forward to meeting many of you!

Any questions about the event, let me know.

Deb Wills

 

[RaySharpton]

Thank you, Ms. Deb Wills. It's great to see you posting here. I can't wait for Mousefest. I guess that I'll have to start my itinerary...lol!

Hi, CarolA. I can't wait to see you again.

Hi, Carl. I know what you mean...lol.

Hi, NancyIL. I haven't heard anyone really plan a meeting for MVMCP, yet. I've seen a lot of individuals that I don't know post about buying MVMCP tickets on the Themeparks board.

Hi, dudlee930. You picked the perfect time to go and meet a lot off Disney folks. Right o one has really picked a certain DIS day to meet. I'm going to wait and plan around the Mousefest meets, first. I already signed up for Ms. Deb Wills' AK Safari meet, and the Passporter Scavenger hunt. As time gets closer and people get an idea of what they want to do, you'll see a lot more posting about DIS meets, too. Since there is no DIS-CON-III this year, there is no central itinerary to plan aronud. But when interest picks up, you can just pick and choose what you would like to do. I hope to meet yo, too.

Hi, helenabear. The RAPD is not a moderated board like the DIS as you know. I'll be going to Deb Wills' AK Safari meet and Passporter's AK Scavenger Hunt. But I hope that a lot of DISers will get together and do a MVMCP, Candlelight Processional, character meal, and various park ride meets in addition to Mousefest. Maybe as time gets closer we can plan some of those.

God bless you, best wishes, and encouragement, RaySharpton

Ray, just to let you know, right now I'm leaning towards Thursday, Dec. 4th for MVMCP.

 

[Jdubbs]

Hi Ray..I will build up my itinarary around you..Whatever you say,Myself and Tanya will join you..Hope many will join us also..

 

[RaySharpton]

Hi, Nancy. Thanks. You're the only one that I know from last year that has already set a date for MVMCP. I haven't decided yet, but I'll keep that date in mind.

Hi, Jdubbs. It will be great to see you and your family again. Do you think that we can get Brisully to start another fishing trip inside Epcot, again? And I've started my itineary on page one about 4-posts down. I've just started some tentative meets on December 5th with the www.wdwig.com and www.passporter.com groups. I'm still waiting for the Candlelight Processional narrator names to come out. Please remember, that my choices are only tentative now. And they may change with time and circumstance.

God bless you, best wishes,and encouragement, RaySharpton

Hi Ray - I'm going to be down there Dec 3-12 and don't really have any plans set yet. Just want to enjoy and take in the Christmas decor - I luv it!!! My sis won't be coming with me this year as she will be waiting for a new arrival in her home - her first grandchild! I will be doing at least one MVMCP but not sure of the date yet. Hope to run into you!

 

[NancyIL]

Ray - I haven't purchased my MVMCP tickets yet, so Dec. 4th is still tentative. I know a lot of folks went on the Sunday DIS-CON ended the past two years, but as of now, I don't think there's a party scheduled for that night. In any event, I plan to do the Illuminations Cruise on Sunday, Dec. 7th with the MouseFest folks.

The Candlelight Processional packages will be available to book long before the narrators are announced. Right now I'm leaning towards Saturday night (Dec. 6th) for that.

Talked with DW and DD last night. We'll be doing MVMCP on December 4th.

I'll probably be going to the Friday night, December 5th, Mousefest meet at the Adventurer's Club. Last time I went down it was closed for a private party.

Saturday, December 6th, I'll be at Mousefest events all day. The evening is open at this time. Possibly a CP Dinner package.

Well I've been thinking and thinking about this and I really, really want to go. DD Holly has informed me about a great deal for members of the military (her DH is in the Army) and asked me to join them on a trip to WDW during the first week in Dec.

I'm just trying to justify the expense and convince DH that he HAS to let me go.

So I'll keep my fingers crossed on this.

Linda

 

[Jdubbs]

Hope you can make it Linda.. I think you owe me a dinner from the last time

 

[JamesD]

Hi again, Ray!
Don't see our names on your list, so I thought I would let you know that Linda and I will be staying at the Beach Club Villas from Dec. 1-8, 2003. We are leaning toward going to MVMCP on Tue., Dec. 2nd. As I've already told you, I plan on participating in some of the passporter.com meets, especially the WWTBAM on Thur. afternoon, Dec.4. We will probably try to take in a couple of shows in the 2-4 pm time frame. Of course by that time in the week, I will have already played a dozen times!!
P.S. In the bad news department, rumor has it there will be no Osborne Christmas lights this year!
Keep up the good work, Ray!
